Should Keir Starmer call an immediate general election? (Image: Getty)
Sir Keir Starmer has dismissed demands for an immediate general election despite a petition calling for a fresh ballot gaining over 700,000 signatures. The next vote isn't due until 2029, but those behind the petition argue "the majority need and want change".
After receiving more than 100,000 signatures, Parliament has to consider petitions for debate. The Government recently responded with a statement in which it insisted ministers were "fixing the foundations" and "delivering change" for voters. So what do you think?
